Ajaxian reports that Safari gets a Javascript debugger. "Webkit - the development version of Safari, has gotten a real javascript debugger. Its called Drosera, and the Surfin Safari blog has the announcement. Or you can just download the latest nightly of Webkit and go." I downloaded it and gave it a try. But I must confess I got stuck very early. I didn't even find out how to debug an external script file. Did anybody have any success with Drosera?
Last Friday we had a reason to celebrate at local.ch (my employer). We released the Guide aka Leisure. That’s the place to go for events and locations like restaurants, bars, cinemas, etc. See the extended release notes on the team blog. The data is not as broad yet as we’d like it to be. You’ll currently only find real information in the bigger cities of Switzerland. Of course we want to improve that in the upcoming months. Many other new features are upcoming this year. Stay tuned. Even better, subscribe to the local.ch Team Blog for the latest information.
Excuse the bad picture please.
A short while back the book Building Scalable Web Sites came out on Safari. The book is written by Cal Henderson, one of the main people behind Flickr. As I’m currently involved in building a Web application (local.ch) I was interested to learn a few lessons by the Flickr people. Okay, Flickr is not beating any speed records right now, but it’s still an incredibly big application with tons of users and data. Management review: the book is worth a read. Technical short review: the book covers a lot of stuff a bit and nothing extremely well. The book does not completely live up to it’s title as scaling is only part of the book. It seems more to be a list of lessons learned while building Flickr. That’s also the reason for one of the book’s main deficiencies: it’s mostly PHP and MySQL only. But it also includes enough lessons that can be applied in other environments for it to be useful. A short chapter by chapter review follows. ...
At work the templating is done with XSLT. I have the Bitflux freaks to thank for that. Currently I’m writing a really tricky XSLT template (for me), so I was investigating a tool for getting things done quicker. And Marc Liyanage is my hero. He has written an OS X application called TestXSLT to quickly test an XSLT stylesheet against some XML file. It accepts an XML and an XSLT file and gives you the parsed output. You can look at it in text mode, HTML mode (exactly what I need) and even XSL-FO (which I have never used).
